Elden Ring
Elden Ring can be considered as one of the most anticipated games in E3 2021. Developed and published by FromSoftware and Bandai Namco Entertainment respectively. This game is a collaborative effort between game director Hidetaka Miyazaki and fantasy novelist George R. R. Martin. The official reveal about the game was on E3 2019 since then, there weren’t any kinds of official statements was released regarding the game.
It is expected that this time the community will be able to hear more regarding the game, either with a gameplay trailer or with a mere cryptic teaser with a release date. If anything like that happens, Elden Ring will be able to steal a lot of attention in E3 2021.
Beyond Good and Evil 2
Developed by Ubisoft Montpellier and published by Ubisoft, Beyond Good and Evil 2 is another game for which the community is waiting. This game is a sequel to the 2003’s Beyond Good and Evil. Even though announced back in E3 2017, the community wasn’t blessed with any kinds of official updates further after. This action-adventure RPG is one of Ubisoft’s most ambitious projects recently.
It is heard that the development of the sequel is going through a rocky development cycle for the past 3 years. It is expected that Ubisoft will announce something regarding the development of the game. And many are expecting something pretty good, as they have been waiting for nearly three years. Beyond Good and Evil 2 is expected to make its appearance in E3 2021 as a part of Ubisoft’s ‘Ubisoft Forward’ presentation.
Mario Kart 9
Ever since the release of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which was basically a re-release of Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U, there weren’t any updates regarding a new version coming to the players. After the release of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in 2014, fans are waiting for nearly far a brand new entry in the series. Some fans of this franchise are hoping that Nintendo will surprise everyone by announcing Mario Kart 9 in E3 2021. Since Nintendo loves to do surprises. If Nintendo ever introduces the next Mario Kart, it will be mostly a fresh game with new characters. But it will be also interesting to see some of the classic characters from the franchise also, as this franchise have a pretty good loyal community. Fan’s are actually hoping for that, as Nintendo had done something similar with their Super Smash Bros Ultimate.
But, since this is just a speculation from the community and not any kinds of official statements have been released to concrete the expectations, we suggest you keep your hopes low. Even if Nintendo doesn’t announce any kind of next version to the Mario Kart, they should at least release DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Something to keep the fans happy for a little while.
Starfield
Announced back in 2018, everyone is going to keep their eyes on Bethesda Softworks regarding any information about the game. Many are expecting that the game studio will reveal this game finally in E3 2021. Do note that there is a Microsoft and Bethesda joint event on Sunday, June 13. Since Starfield was seen on the image of the event invite, we can hope that Bethesda will do something to end the fan’s three-year-long wait.
Elder Scrolls 6
It’s been a decade since Skyrim was released, and till now, fans are waiting for the next installment in the franchise. This is the second game on our list where we are looking to Bethesda for any updates. Fans are expecting that there will be something to expect from Bethesda regarding Elder Scrolls 6. E3 is the point where fans are rooting for any updates regarding the new game from the highly-anticipated RPG franchise. Bethesda actually showcased a very lame teaser a couple of years ago which featured a brief video showing what looked like highlands which lead the community to speculate many things.
Halo Infinite
Bethesda is perhaps that kind of game studio that loves to make the fans suffer from waiting for their favorite game titles to be released. As this is the third game from Bethesda in the list where the studio is making the fans keep their hopes high and wait for any kinds of news regarding the game. Fans are expecting to hear something interesting in the Microsoft and Bethesda joint event.
The good news is that the teaser photo of the event hints at Halo Infinite along with Starfield. So, it is obvious that we will hear something about the game at the Microsoft Bethesda joint event on June 13th. Players are looking forward that there will be a date for the Xbox reveal.
Skull and Bones
Skull & Bones is the first game made by Ubisoft Singapore. Announced back in E3 2017, the game was initially supposed to come out in the next year itself. But we saw it getting delayed, that too nearly three times. There some reports which stated that Ubisoft Singapore has now restarted the game’s development from scratch a few months back. Now we are expecting that Ubisoft will now announce its final reveal date on E3 2021. Fans are currently expecting the game to be released in 2022.
GTA 6
Yes, we all know GTA 6 won’t be coming anytime soon, but that doesn’t stop us from not hoping for at least one percent that we may see something regarding the game. It’s been eight long years since Rockstar Games shook the world with the launch of GTA 5. This could be perhaps the longest stint the gaming community ever had between major installations of the hugely popular, open-world game.
There is no day recently where we don’t hear at least a rumor regarding GTA 6. Whether it’s a fake rumor or not, fans are so thirsty to hear anything regarding the game that will help them sit calm and wait for the game. While the world is pleading with Rockstar Games for a new installation in the franchise, The game studio company is only giving them updates for GTA Online, which is still one of the popular games on the internet. Ever since it was heard that Rockstar games will be in E3 2021, fans are all hoping to get at least a drop of water-like information regarding the game. Just imagine if they dropped a teaser image or even a title for the game? That would be enough to turn the entire internet towards GTA 6.
Gotham Knights
Gotham Knights could be considered as the much-awaited title, at least for Batman fans. Announced back in August 2020, initially, Warner Bros planned to release the game sometime in 2021. Unfortunately, because of what happened in the world, later on, this was delayed to 2022.
Other than this news and a small gameplay video that was showcased, fans were unable to hear more regarding the game, nor was able to see a fresh trailer for the game. So game studios should indeed do something during the E3 2021, as the fans are expecting some interesting announcements regarding the action role-playing game.
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League
This is another title from Warner Bros that DC fans have been waiting for, Besides the cinematic trailer, we don’t have anything besides that. It is expected that we will hear something from Warner Bros. regarding Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League onE3 2021. Fans are keeping their eyes open to see the gameplay of the game.
In the game, players will take on the roles of the most dangerous villains of the DC Universe. This gang consisted of Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, and King Shark. Developed by Rocksteady Studios, the same studios, which brought the famous Arkham trilogy. This is a highly anticipated installment of the series where we will not see Batman be featured as the title character or the player protagonist. It is set to grab everyone’s attention in E3 2021.
Spyro 4
Activision, the game studio famous for the Call of Duty games, hasn’t done anything out of that franchise recently. It seems like they don’t want to get out of the Call of Duty franchise. But Activision does have many IPs under its belt. One among them is Spyro, there was actually Spyro Reignited Trilogy announced back in 2018, but we don’t hear much about that later. Chances that we may hear about this game in E3 2021 as Activision is taking part in it.
Final Fantasy
Square Enix has not one but more than one Final Fantasy title in the works! Yes, now if you ever saw a Final Fantasy fan all hyped up to see Square Enix in E3 2021, you know why.

For those who don’t know, Final Fantasy 16 is the sixteenth installment in the long-running Final Fantasy franchise. This installment is produced by Naoki Yoshida, and in this game, this time we may see the game go back to the franchise’s medieval high fantasy roots with the sci-fi path taken in recent installments.

Metroid Prime 4
After announcing the Metroid Prime 4, Nintendo didn’t reveal any solid information on the game since then. After 3 years, we are still waiting for further information.

This may include where the story sets, what creatures we can expect to see, whether it’ll continue to focus on heroes, and even whether the rumors about time-traveling are actually true. What we could just do is to hope that Microsoft will give us more than a cinematic trailer.
